Distance to the moon . . ., going to need one of these for the 914 Options

[anderssj]

I've used these on a couple of our old Volvos:




During my post-MX check drive today, I noticed I'm within about 150 miles of needing one for the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

May have to see if I can get something like this made. Anybody else getting close?

Two things on the 914 odometers (& speedometers/etc. gear) -

1st - You have to log the 100,000s manually in a log book with a 5-digit odometer (i.e.: how many times it's "turned over");

2nd - stuff like the speedo/odo/cables/angle drives/ etc. can & will break over time - on ANY vehicle of any make or model - so you have to fix the stuff & check the entire system out after fixing one item (e.g.: Stu's speedo cable had probably seized before the break after years of disuse). And if you get your speedo rebuilt - like I did in 1982 - then you need to ask them to set it at the prior mileage to keep it accurate.

But I know a few members on here have "turned over" at least 3x for 300K - so our little 914s do have some longevity.

I think there are a few on here you have made the moon - perhaps even a few to the moon & back - maybe even Stu, but he doesn't know, nor really care I guess! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
